ENGLAND. ME. GLADSTONE NEVER TO RESUME THE LIBRRAL LEADERSHIP—THE ADMIRALTY'S MINUTE EX- ONERATING ADMIRAL TARLETON—THE NAVI- GATING LIEUTENANT OF THE IRON DUKE DIS- ‘MISSED. Lonpow, Oct. 13, 1875.

Lonvow, Oct. 13, 1875. The Admiralty minute, which was promulgated yes- terday, has calied forth much eriticism by the London press, The Zimes this morning, in a leading article on the subject, says it is not clear that the minute fully observes the rule that the conditions of the service In ‘the navy ought to be upheld without favor or distine- tion. ‘The Daily News and the Telegraph also have editorial articles on the subject, and condemn the minute. The Standard (government organ), in its comments on the matter, says the minute will not secure more public approval than the notorious Admiralty circular in rogard to fugitive slaves, which the government found it necessary to suspend last week. The Morning Echo says:—‘‘Mr, Hunt is mistaken if he imagines that he can satisfy the country by offering the Navigating Lieutenant as a scapegoat.” THE DIFFICULTY WITH CHINA—NEGOTIATIONS * PROGRESSING FAVORABLY, Lonvow, Oct, 13, 1875.

THE QUESTION OF BRANDING CIGAR BOXES— LATEST MUDDLE OF THE REVISED STATUTES, "The Attorney General, it is understood, in returning to the Secretary of the Treasury the papers referred to the Department of Justice regarding the construction to be placed upon the law requiring all boxes contain- ing cigars or cigarettes to have burned into each box, with @ branding iron, the number of cigars, name of manufacturer, number of the district, &c., declines to express such an opinion as will justify the Commissioner of Internal Revenue in permitting the use of paper or metal boxes ‘without the law ts strictly complied with, The Revised Statutes authorize the use of wood, metal, . paper or other materials, separately or in combination, for packing tobacco, snuff and cigars, but if the box has not burned into it the above stamp the offender is liable to fine and imprisonment, Wooden packages are easily branded; Paper boxes are burned and defaced {n atvempting to impress the heated brand, and all the legislation of Congress cannot make an impression on the tin bo: which cigarette manufacturers desire to use, Though the manufacturer has a right to use tin boxes by one provision of the act, if he does so and does not burn certain words into the box, he is liable to a felon’s doom. ‘The Solicitor General declined to muddle the question by attempting to explain this latest feature of the Re- vised Statutes. THE VACANT JUDGESHIP—THE R{MORED AP- POINTMENT OF SENATOR EDMUNDS DISCRED- . ITED. The Attorney General declined to say anything to-day regarding the appointment of a successor to the late Judge Woodruff. The report that Senator Edmunds, 0 Vermont, has been tendered the position is discredited || jn offictal quarters, The President has repeatedly refused to appoint members of Congress to judicial positions, ‘I alleging that the selection by the people or their representatives of men for Congressional honors ought to be regarded in the light of an obligation to faithfully serve their constituents during the term for whicb they were elected. It is doubtful whether Mr, Edmunds would vacate his seat inthe Senate for a life appointment on the Bench, there being every probability of his continued re-elec- tion to the Senate so long as his health will permit him toserve, The principal effort is in behalf of District Judge Blatchford. It is probable there will bea meet- ing of the Cabinet on Friday, when a selection for the important position of Circuit Judge will be deter- mined. THE PANAMA TROUBLES.

A SUGAR REFINERY OLOSED. Moxtreat, Oct. 13, 1875. J. Redpath & Son have announced to their men to-ddy that their sugar refinery would be closed on Monday next.

The ‘Character of the Political Con- test Just Decided, HAYES’ MAJORITY DWINDLING. Allen’s Election Claimed by the Enquirer. A Republican Majority in the Sen- ate and House. ARIMA cy Cinciwatt, Oct, 13, 1875, The Ohio election is not the simple result of a party struggle. There is not on one side the spower of the democratic party and on the other the power of the republican party, although both parties developed tnoir full force at the polls, The election is the repudiation of the attempt of a clique of politicians who sought for and obtained the control of the Democratic Convention at Columbus which nominated the State ticket and, by the adoption of their platform in favor of rag money, connected Governor Allen with a policy really objectionable to him, but which he accepted through personal vanity, breathed upon by Wash, McLean and George H. Pendlqton, who made him be- | Meve that it was the stopping stone to the Presidency of 1876, THE BATTLE has been fought on purely artificial grounds, the infla- tionists having secured the Convention and shaped the policy of the party. The hard money demo- crats yielded to expediency and voted the ticket in order to secure a arty victory. On the other hand, the republicans, while taking advantage of the oppor: tunity offered by their opponents on the financial question, endeayored to create a scare on the school question by shaking the Gegan bill in the faces of the people as a menace. Some votes wero gained on this account, gba far as this county is concerned, the ro- sult has not been commensurate. The poople of this county have for many years been an uncertain quantity in politics, and good men and wise measures have been necessary to secure their sup- port at the polls for any party. This inde- pendence has gradually been oxtending itself throughout the State until the people of all the coun- ties have come to assert themselves as rather owning the party that shall administer their State affairs than being owned and directed on election day by any body of politicians that may meet to fix up a ticket for them. @ BETTER CLASS OF DEMOCRATS, although chagrined at the result, feel that a needed ro- buke fas been administered to their less judicious brethren, and that the party will be strengthened for the great national struggle in 1876, Thoughtful republi- cans feel that itis NOT A PARTY VICTORY, and if their counsel prevails and party will not jump in and either claim it or attempt to lay hands on the spoils. The party will rather address itself to retaining the ground gained by keeping in the ranks the new acces- sions. All this, however, looks like the counting of chickens before they are hatched, for up to this hour of half past eleven we are not without anxiety lest the antici- pated result may be materially changed. THE STATR CLAIMED YOR ALLEN, The Enquirer office claimed the State for Allen to- night, and a procession, with music and teansperencles, paraded the streets in honor of the event. Cynics o! republican persuasion regarded it simply as a gam- bling dodge. HAYES’ MAJORITY GRADUALLY DWINDLING DOWN—THE DEMOCRATS FIGURING IN 8E- CREI—THE REPUBLICAN FIGURES, Couvmsvs, Ohio, Oct. 13, 1875, A most remarkable change in the political feeling has occurred this evening. At noon the democrats con- ceded the State to the republicans by from 10,000 to 15,000, but this afternoon they received private advices which considerably changed their figures, steadily cut- ting down Hayes’ prospective majority. AT DEMOCRATIC HRADQUARTERS. This evening the Democratic Committee closed their headquarters to outsiders, and have since been figur- ing on the result, and now claim that Hayes, if elected at all, will not have over 2,500 majority. This result, the committee claim, is reached from the figures ro- ceived from their private correspondents in fifty-three counties and thirty-five counties to hear from, HOPES OP ALLEN’S ELECTION, Mr. Thompson, the democratic Chairman, says they yet hope to prove Allen’s election by @ small majority. ‘This news has spread like wildfire, and mon who wore confident to-day and jubilant over having won considerable sams of money on Hayes’ election now fill the Republican Committee rooms anxious for news, REPUBLICAN FIGURES. A. T. Wikoff, chairman of the Republican Committ admits his news of this afternoon will cat down Hayes’ prospective majority, but claims he has no news ai all in eeping with the news at the democratic rooms. le declares he cannot see how it is possible to overcome Hayes’ majority, republicgmfigures give the republicans nine of a ma- jority @ House, not counting four considered doubtful, and three of a majority in the Senate, with four yet in doubt. LATER. A revision of the republican figures give Hayess a net in of 8,431 in fifty-six counties, while on the other fina the democratic figures show that Hayes will not have over 2,000 majority. THE STATE CONCEDED TO HAYES BY THRES THOUSAND. Conumnvs, Oct. 13—10:30 P, M. Hayes’ majority is set down at 8,208, with twenty. eight counties to hear from. Thompson, chairman of the Democratic Committee, concedes the State to Hayes by 3,000. THE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY IN HAMILTON COUNTY—THE REPUBLICAN GAINS. * Cinctxxatt, Oct. 13, 1875, Revised figures on the vote in Hamilton county give Hayes 449 majority. A private despatch from Columbus says the Chairman of the Democratic Central Committee concedes the State to the republicans by 2,000 or 3,000 majority. The Chairman of the Republican Central Committee says returus, considered reliable, from fifty-four coun- ties show a net republican gain of over 8,000, LATER RETURNS TO THE DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL COMMITTEE, Cotumncs, 0., Oct. 13, 1875, The latest from the Democratic Central Committee is to the effect that returns bave come in from sixty-six counties, and estimates of the other twenty-two. This includes the returns of 6,000 republican majority in Cuyahoga and 1,100 in Hamilton counties. John Thompson, chairman of the committee, regards both these returns as too largo, but, taking them for granted tobe true, he says it cannot give Hayes more than 2,500 majority. Mr. Wikoff, Chairman of the Republican Committee, says he has yct to hear from fourteen counties, which are considered republican, and ten democratic, and so is unable to give definite figures. Returns from fifty-seven counties now show a net republican gain of 7,768, CELEBRATING THE VICTORY—~UNANIMITY SENTIMENT IN NEW ORLEANS. New Onueans, Oct. 13, 1875. The following was tclegraphed this afternoon :— To A T. Wikorr, Chairman Republican Committee, Columbus, Ohio. We celebrate your victory with 100 guns, which are now being fired. The conservatives here vie with republicans in congratulations over the defeat of “inflation heresy.’ B. PACKARD, Chairman Republican Committee. oF AN OPEN AIR MEETING IN SYRACUSE, Syracuse, N. Y., Och 13, 1875, The republicans celebrated their victories in Ohio and Iowa by an open air meeting in Hanover square this evening. One hundred guns were fired, and addresses were delivered by Hon. Thomas @, Alvord, Hon, George L. Maynard ana others, THE EFFECT IN PENNSYLVANIA—THE INFLATION- I8TS WAVERING—REPUBLICAN VICTORY PhOB- ABLE—THE QUANDARY OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY LEADERS, Pu.apEtrmia, Oct. 13, 1875, Once the politicians’ axiom was, ‘ Ponnsylvania goes so goes the Union.” Now it would seem that Ohio is to be the key to unlock the political futuro, since Pennsylvania’s new constitution places her in the list of States whose olections are held in November, Tho result of the voting in Ohio has brought about a changed condition of tho political sky. The campaign in this State has not been marked by vigor or honest avowal of principles on gjshor pido Banydlicgns and democrats, the latter especially so, adopted the passive policy of | waiting for the expression of public opinion at the polls im our sister State, Evon the first democratic enthu- siasm over the rag-money evil platform seemed to be followed by @ sober second thought of distrust as to whother inflation could carry the people with it, Con- fidence in the strength of the inflation lunacy seemed to grow less and less with the democratic leaders. Some of their own candidates could not swallow the rag pill without a wry face, Alleyes turned to Ohio, the campaign which opened with eclat gradually became less vigorous, and within the past few weeks the democrats in this State have done little but turn their eyes toward Ohio and wait, MURMURINGS IN THR DEMOCRATIC CAMP. To-day’s news from the West will undoubtedly have the effect of causing a still further loss of confidence tn tho popularity of inflation as a war cry. At Erie the hard money democrats were choked off and the infla- tion doctrine adopted against the protests of the best men of their party, whose partisan feeling has not been strong enough to enable them to give more than an im- plied support to this plank in the platform. To-day there have been murmurings in this faction of the democracy. They have begun to protest against the thrusting forward of the currency quastion as the im- portant issue of the strife. They declare that the party is surely lost if the Ohio policy is carried out, and although, as I have said, it has not been vigor- ously pushed in the State recently, they say with Hamlet, “Oh! reform it altogether |” Said an influential old time, hard-money democrat to me to-day, ‘Sir, Iwill be damned before I will see tho grave of Andrew Jackson trampled upon.”” The hard-money malcontents are making themselves heard. Whether it will be to any purpose a few days will show, I have talked with many repubiicans, and heard of many more, who know how little Hartranft amounts to and what infamous rings have been per- mitted under his rule 1 they vote the republican ticket it will be with reluctance, and only because it is committed to hard money; not because they wish to support the present republican administration. I know one prominent republican, one ot the most useful men in acampaign and one of their best stump speakers, who has, for the first time in years, refused to take the stump, because, while he will probably vote the ticket which does not represent ipflation, he will not lend his voice to ask yotes for Hartranft’ and Mackey. ‘These men are wavering. Shrewd management may bring them into the democratic party. It is.its only chance, THE OTHER RIDE. Among tbe republican leaders—those of the small sort—the Ohio election has hak achange, You could not have interviewed some of them on the cur- rency question while Ohio was in doubt tf your life de- pended upon it. Now they are, one and all, virtuous, outspoken hard money men, They talk of “honesty and good. faith and gold, sir," and freely abuse the “damned democratic heresy of rag money.” The re- mainder of the republican pene in Pennsylvania will not be conducted as it has en in the past, The lesson of the Ohio election will’not be lost upon them, “Hard money” will be the slogan, and, notwithstand- ing that they are handicapped with the Harrisburg | gang, every indication is that they will be victorious IOWA. THE STATE REPUBLICAN BY 32,000 masonrry, Dxs Mores, Lowa, Oct. 13, 1875. Special despatches received by the Stats Register up to noon, do not change materially the estimate made up from despatches up to two d’clock this morning, The further and later despatches confirm the estimate made then of 82,000 republican majority on the State ticket and about thirty republican majority on joint ballot in the Legislatare. DUBUQUE COUNTY. Dusvgue, Oct, 13, 1875. The republicans elect two out of the three members to tho Legislature from this county, and possibly all three, Special despatches to the Dubuque Times show that the republican majority has been considerably Increased all over the State. The ma- jority for Kirkwood will, it is believed, reach 85,000, with a strong majority in the General Assembly, The democratic local candidates here are beaten and the republican and people’s candidates victorious. NEBRASKA. THE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY TEN THOUSAND— THE NEW CONSTITUTION SUCCESSFUL-—THE NEW CAPITAL QUESTION. Omana, Oct. 19, 1875. Tho completed returns come in very slowly, but it fs believed that the republican majority of 10,000 is not far from correct, Tho new constitution has doubtless been carried by a very large majority. ayihe completo returns are not expected before Sat THE NEW CONSTITUTION, It ts generally conceded that the new constitution has been carried by a large majority. THE CAVITAL LOCATION question has been decided as an open question. Strong efforts have been made on the part of Lincoln, the present capital, to have it settled there permanently. Colonel James W. Savage democrat, of Omaha, ts probably elected District Judge. SENATORIAL NOMINATION. Syzacusn, Oct. 13, 1875, ‘The democracy of the Twenty-second Senatorial dis, trict nominated Hon. Daniel Bookstaver, of Syracuse, for State Senator to-day. THE BOARD OF TRADE DINNER. Some fifty gentlemen sat down last night to the in- augural dinner of the New York Board of Trade, which was laid at Delmonico’s. The dining hall was tastefully decorated with bunting and the bill of fare was rich and varied, Among those present were George Opdyke, General B. F. Butler, Peter Cooper, Yashido Kiyouarl, the Jap. aneso Ambassador; Postmaster James, Collector Arthur, Judge Davies, Hon. Salem H. Wales, Hon, Erastus Brooks, Hon. William Orton, Wallace P. Groom, John F. Henry, J. W. Simonton, Syney Myers, of Chicago; James Buchanan, of Indianapolis; F. B. Thurber and George W. Blunt. After the viands had been discussed Mr. George Opdyke inaugurated the in- tellectual portion of the entertainment by addressing the assemblage upon trade and commerce. This de- partment of industry, he said, had played tho most important part in civilization—in bringing the world from barbarism to its present enlightened con- dition. He alluded to the injustice of New York city being obliged to bear one-half of the entire taxation of the State, THE FIRST TOAST, “The President of the United States,” was drunk standing. In the absence of Governor Tilden, who had been expected to ty to the second toast, ‘The Em- pire State,” Hon. B. F. Butler was called’ upon. He responded ina characteristic speech. He called the attention of the Board to tho Warehouse bill, which he thought should be repealed, as it permitted foreign merchants to send their goods thither and have them stored in fireproof build- ings, where they are carefully watched without any expense and without paying the govern- ment the duty upon them until the market was favor- able, when the owner could by cable direct their sale. By this plan the foreign merchant borrowed the duty on his goods from the government for one year without paying any interest and then put his | goods upon’ the ket to compete with American manutacturers’ producta. Ho called the atten- tion of the Board to another thing “The cloth of this coat,” he said; “and now I speak from knowledge, for T am a manufacturor—represents eighty-five per cent of its cost, while the labor represents but twelve per cent or fifteen at most. Now, then, on at least some of the material I haveas a’ manufacturer to pay a duty. What do I got in the shape of protection? Nothing whatever on all the material, I do get some protec- tion against the cheaper labor of Europe. Only twelve oh cent of the cost is labor, and the only difference between the labor of this country and the labor of Europe is three per cent. Now 1 run y, mill in Massa- chusotts just as cheaply as any man in Manchester docs his. At the end of a yoar I will make no dividend and he will make three per cent. In concluding, he saitl that the man who loans money at usurious rates is the enemy of his country. The Bible, he said, tells us that Moses taught the Israelites not to “shave’’ one another in that way, and they do pod but they have revenge by “shaving” every! el REMARKS OF SALEM 1. WALES. Inthe absence of Mayor Wickham, Mr. Salem H. Wales was called upon to nd to the second toast— “Success to our metropolia, happiness to its citizens and wisdom and honoy to its rulers.” He said that it was perhaps appropriate that he should take the lace of the Mayor for he would have been jayor himself if votes enough had been cast for him at the last election. Alluding to his connection with the Dock Department he said that not a commer- cial city in the world had such — poor dock facilities as Now York. Up to 1870 the condition of our docks would have disgraced a fishing village, Our citizens have permitted hundreds and thousands of feet of water front to be filled in. He said with St. Paul that ‘wo are residents of no mean city.” We are the citizens of the metropolis of a country ing more undeveloped resources than any other country in the world. He concluded by calling upon those present to secure our harbor against grasping land spect rs. Pilot Commissioner George W, Binnt replied to the fourth toast—‘In combined efforts for pabiic good the commercial organizations of New York deserve the i wishes we offer them.” The principal point of r. Blunt’s speech seemed to be to impress upon his audience the fact that New York has the best harbor in tho world.

When Congress enacted that the National Centennial should be celebrated under its auspices by an interna- tional exhibition it intrusted to the President the task of securing the co-operation of foreign governments. The world was invited by proclamation and diplomatic notes, and the foreign Powers were advised that no persons could be received as exhibitors unless their re- spective governments accepted the invitation and ap- pointed commissions to deal with the Ceatennial Com- mission ordained by Congress and appointed by the President. The proclamation was cordially received in Europe, and Prince Bismarck responded :— «(* * *© TheGerman Empire accepts, with sincerest thanks, the invitation of the goyernment of the United States to take part in the above-mentioned exhibition. ‘The appointment of a special commission for the exhi- bition, as also a plepipotentiary residing in Philadel- phia, will therofore be made in time.” On the close of the Vienna Exposition, the most mag- nificent that the world has seen, a Vienna sheet hailed the American Centennial as its legitimate successor with the salutation, “Tho King és dead; live the King!” But presently came a sudden change in European opin- ion and a courtly coldness, The Philadelphia celebra- tion seemed to be looked upon, not as aking, but as a ee beggarly pretender, and the press intimated that, while the American government asked other Powers to recog- nize and assist it, the President had blended with the request @ significant warning that the Commission had no claim to an official character, and that the govern- ment declined all responsibility for its acts, Soon the question began to be asked by Continental manufactur- ers if they could safely assist the Centennial without risk of their goods being seized and sold for the debts of the Commission, as had happened to some of them at New York, and it was said that whoever trusted the Commission in the face of the caution given from Wash- ington would deserve to suffer, An explanation of this change tn European opinion and of the refusal of Russia to accept the invitation is afforded by arécent statement attributed to Governor Jewell of the terms of the second invitation given by His Excellency at St, Petersburg. Governor Jewell ad- vised the Court that “while the United States urged other nations to attend and contribute to our exhibt- tion, our government was not responsible for it, and that it was not a national affair. * * * Ho wss told in reply that under no circumstances could Russia accopt such an {nvitation ‘from private persons or » private corporation. Governor Jewell explains that the autocracy of Russia can hardly understand how our government can ask them to accept an invitation from private persons or a private corporation.” The view attributed to Governor Jewell that the re- fusal was not due to any change in the cordiality of our relations, is, I think, probably just, “ The Emperor when at Vienna expressed cordially his appreciation of the reception of his son Alexis by the American people, He may have been less pleased by the Grand Duke's treatment at Washington, but with the trained statesmen and monarchs of Europe personal feelings are not too easily permitted to complicate international relations To wound the American people by declining a Congres- sional invitation to assist at a national celebration of their hundredth year on acconnt of such an affront, real or imaginary, from a quadrennial government would hardly be in accord with the well considered and cherished pohcy of the Bussian Court toward the Amer. ican Republic. It would bo interesting to know on what grounds the President and his Cabinet, with the Attorney General, held it to be in accordance with constitutional law and the acts of Congress, and with the safety and honor of the country, to deny to the Executive the high control over the Centennial Commission that ho claimed and exercised over the commission which he appointed to the Vienna Exposrtion, and which, when “irregulart- ties” appeared in its management, he promptly and wisely suspended, At present it does not appear how the President could regard himself at liberty to disclaim all connection with the Centennial Commission, whose existence depends upon the commussion issued by his executive authority, and which is compelled to report to him from time to time the progress of the work and its final results, But if the Cabinet held these opinions {t may be asked, Why were the proclamation and diplomatic notes issued in a form to induce the world to believe that the celebration would be a national affair, under the. auspices of the government? Why was tho invitation given at different times in such different forms that, while Germany accepted it with stncere thanks, Russia was surprised that it should have been offered ? If it could have been proper for us to give such an invitation to any government, at any time, it cortainly seems as if it would have been more in accord with our own dignity, and with the respect duc to other Powors, to have advised them frankly at the beginning that they might know from the first the sort of en- tertainment to which they were invited. Tho late an- nouncement of the pfivate and irresponsible charac- ter of the Commission might well subject a govern- ment which had, in good faith, accepted our invitation as national, and called upon its Parliament for supplies, to the unpleasant dilemma of observing a reluctant si- lence, or of taking the unaccustomed step of revoking an acceptance and calling upon a Diet to annual an ap- propriation, There arises also the interesting question, Does the whole world now understand fairly and squarely that the President disclaims all connection with*the Conten- nialand all control over it? A misunderstanding on this point by the Chinese, the Japanese, the Turks or the Egyptians, if they are coming under the idea that the Centennial Commission is a governmental body and the Exhibition a national celevration, may be long re- membered to our disadvantage. And how is it with the Buropean Powers? When England, with a magnan— imity that our people appreciate, accepted the invita- tion of Congress and the President to assist ata na- tional celebration of our Centennial, did sho quite un- derstand that our government disavow all connection with the affair? The Queen, it is said, will send tho Duke of Richmond as her representative. Is Her Majesty expected to accredit His Grace to a private cor- poration? “A failure of the Exhibition,” as the President plain- tively said to Congress, “would be deplorable.” But beyond all thought of the Exhibition ts the thought that the diplomacy, the honor, the -prestigo of the Re- public are at stake, and that in a mattéf of historic in- terest where all nations are concerned and where all are attentive watchers. International exhibitions are apt to dovelop in their full force national sensitiveness an& international Jealonsies, and the complications created by our differ. ing invitations, and by the novelty of Imperial and Royal Commissioners finding themselves aceredited only to @ private corporation, with which the American government declines all connection, will hardly serve to allay the jealonsies or the confusion. If the government has nothing more todo with the Centennial, and its future rests, as you suggest, with the American people, is it not timo that they should be advised, by the publication of the ontire corro- spondence, what the government and its agents have said and dono about it in the past, and what foreign 7 AMUSEMENTS. THE BOHEMIAN GIRL AT BOOTHS THEATRE The old and familiar opera of “The Bohemian Giri* was interpreted last night at Booth’s Theatre by the Kotlogg opera troupe, and it attracted an mnusually large and fashionable house. In fact there was not ® vacant seat, and the performance was @ decided success, despite the negligence displayed in dressing the piece for the stage. This was a glaring faalt, for, no matter how well the score of an opera may be sung, the eye should be remembered as well as the ear, and ragged scenery and an ill-dressed chorus is an offence against good taste, But the artisis were in excellent voice and the gems of Balfe’s composition were all given in a manner that roves the excellence of Miss Kellogg's troupe. ‘The y herself was received with that enthusiasin which has always markea her before the footlighta, and before the ture had ceased she captivated the house by the delicious delivery of “I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls.’ The air was encored twice, and so well did the lady sing that on the third rendering she carried the higher notes as clear as at the first. “Mr. Joseph Maas, as Thaddeus, acted the part weil and sang’ his music’ most acceptably, there being no attempt at display, while every effect was clearly made, especially in ri e Fair Land of Poland” and “You'll Remember Me,’? being encored. Mr. William Hamilton, as Count Arn- heim, gained an encore in the single opportunity afforded him, while singing “The Heart Bowed Down.” Mr. Sequin, a6 Devilshoof, was melodramatic, and Mrs Sequin, as ihe Quoen, sang her difficult notes’ with pre- cission and care, while her acting was a surprise, The opera of ‘Faust’ will be given to-night, whem Miss Kellogg, Mra. Seguin and Messrs. Maas, Carieto: Hamilton and others will appear. So far, this briel season of English opera promises to be @ most success- ful and remunerative one. bs CUR F MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES. The audiences at Wallack's continue to be large, and “The Overland Route” improves nightly. It is understood that Mr. Barnum will reopen the Hippodrome for a short Christmas season. As Mr. Edwin Booth has so far recovered from his re- centaccident as to be able to contemplate active work, it has been arranged that he shall make his first appear- ance at the Fifth Avenue Theatre on Monday, the 25th inst. “Our Boys” cannot, therefore, be played after Saturday next.
